Great service from this Garage. Very personable staff great information and explanation every step of the way. As a single woman did not feel unsure of honest quote which happens frequently and in fact felt very secure throughout the repair. Will certainly use again and would definitely recommend them. Thank you VRS.

Very efficient

Oil change fine. Follow-up jobs to hand brake and calipers were a joke. Returned twice to get hand brake sorted and ended up having to go somewhere else.
And calipers were put on rear wheels shoddily. Had to return as wheels were hot. Pins were discovered as being disintegrated on all four calipers by another garage - how they didn't notice that I have no idea.
The oil change was fine though.

well where do I start with my praise for everyone at VRS REPAIR SERVICES who go that extra mile to put their customers first, after being totally ripped off quote wise by the big high street exhaust companies one of which refused my car because the manifold bolts were seized,VRS came to my help within minutes of posting on the site, cost was quarter than the high street exhaust places and an extremely fast turnaround. before paying any expensive high street fitting centre costs give VRS a call you will not be dissappointed, am so pleased to find these guys. VRS = VALUE RELIABLE SERVICE.
Thank you VRS your a credit to the auto trade

I would definitely recommend this garage. The customer service was excellent and the price of my repairs, service and MOT were very reasonable. My car was also collected and returned on time which was an added bonus. Would definitely use again

I was stuck 200 miles from home with the slave cylinder gone.As I have previously run a small garage business I knew right away it was a gearbox out job and get clutch replaced at the same time.These guys sorted it out for me in the time they said it would take at the price they quoted.They did a great job with good communication throughout and gave good professional advice on anything to look out for.They also changed the gearbox oil while they were in that far.Would definitely do business with them again.Cheers guys,well appreciated.

Derek, Renault Clio

Fantastic, very thorough, i don't know Newcastle at all so it was great find the garage!

The price only increased because I also asked for new batteries in keys. They completed the work quickly and car was back when they said it would be. Marvellous service and my car won't be going anywhere else for servicing or repair from now on. Totally recommend Gators.

Customer service was excellent from the start which made me feel confident to deal with the garage. Compliments to Steve and Lee !
They collected the car from work then returned it after - a major time saving convenience for me. Great qlty work done and at an affordable price.
1st time to deal with Gator Garage and I was so pleased with them that I'll now be taking in our 2nd family car next week.
I recommend them.

What is a diagnostic?

A diagnostic test is a service performed by a mechanic to discover problems in a car. There are a diverse range of issues which can be discovered during a diagnostic and it is a vital aspect of car repair.

A diagnostic test requires a piece of equipment which plugs directly into a car and connects with the on-board measurement tools.

For example, there are processors, sensors and microchips inside a car engine and a connected on-board computer in most modern cars.

A diagnostic kit will connect to all of the sensors when it is plugged into a car and analyse the health of key components.

Once the machinery has done its job, a detailed report will be generated which will provide information which will tell the mechanic what is wrong with the car.

Why do I need a diagnostic?

As a service, a diagnostic is vital for finding faults quickly. It is a service you will have to pay for as it takes time and skill to carry out, however, it is significantly quicker than manually checking every single part of a car which is how they used to be carried out.

A diagnostic test will be able to find problems which may be totally undetectable to a mechanic, furthermore, a diagnostic could tell a mechanic that a problem is developing before it turns into a serious issue.

Having a diagnostic carried out can save you a huge amount of money in the long term as the longer a problem goes without attention, the worse it will get.

Think about how important it is for doctors to use machines to measure the health of your body. They’ll use an X-Ray to look at bone integrity, an ECG machine to look at your heart and a CAT Scan machine to see the brain.

A diagnostic machine performs the same function for a car.

Why do I have to pay for a diagnostic?

The cost of a diagnostic is required as it takes time and mechanics charge for labour. The cost will depend on a number of factors including the type of car and garage. Dealership garages may carry a higher charge than an independent garage, however, the only way to find out how much a diagnostic will cost for you, is by using WhoCanFixMyCar!
